U.S. Olympian named Nick Symmonds tried to break the world record for fastest “Beer Mile”.

Symmonds ran the 800 meters at London and finished fifth.

The rules are, you chug one beer at the beginning, then another full beer every quarter mile. So, four beers total.

Sadly, he fell ten seconds short of the record, finishing in just under five minutes 20 seconds. Which is third-best all-time, according to BeerMile.com.
